Morning ladies. So! it only took a couple of years (or more) to muster up courage and go and get the test. I've always hated them, and yes... I know how important they are.
That aside, I would rather have a tooth extracted without pain killer than get one done. But.... get one done I did. About 2 weeks ago. The nurse, lovely as she was, was really quite awkward with it and clumsy. To the point that not only was it very painful, but she made me bleed.
This morning I got a letter saying I need a retest as the sample was not adequate for testing.
The thought of going back for another, is not pleasant for me. I will go though, so please don't fret.
My question is, would anyone know a reason why the sample test would have been inadequate? Could it just be that she was indeed clumsy (although she is a long standing member of staff at the surgery, and elderly - so should know what she is doing).?
thanks in advance.
